Something about this Scallion and Coconut Rice with Pork recipe snagged my attention and wouldn’t let it go. But cauliflower is a great low-carb substitute for rice in my opinion, so I made that upgrade happen in my version: Coconut Ginger Cauliflower Pork. The result was a steaming, fragrant, savory bowl of real food deliciousness. I enjoyed it for dinner and again for a late-night snack, but it would be great as an unconventional breakfast, as well. It’s a streamlined, single-skillet preparation and makes quite enough for two.
